Our 3-year-old mutt Truman was lounging on the bed, and our (then) 8-month-old son Emmett decided his big brother looked like a perfect pillow. This was NOT posed by us, completely candid moment. They are best friends!

My son Kaelen with our cat, 'Uncle' Leo. They have been best friends since before my son was born! Leo used to sleep on my stomach as a kitten and purr, and cause all sorts of kicking and wiggling in my belly ? It looks like Leo is being squashed in the photo but let me tell ya, that cat was in heaven! Lol

Wow, what soft fur you have! How come I don’t have fur?

Our kitten protecting his baby

Mabel loves Johnny and Johnny loves Mabel. He doesn't let anyone pull his ears and tail, grab handfuls of his fur and just generally abuse him apart from her. In return he gets lots of love and the occassional scraps from her tuna sandwiches!

Hi everyone this is my big brother Desmond

Moira and Oxford were very excited to welcome baby Julien into the family . . . .

Baby Aston and Hugo (age difference between the two is 1 month) — Aston getting some genuine love from his new puppy at 3 months old, though as you can see — he doesn't like it much. This quickly became both of their favorite spots until Hugo got too big. :( Aston is now a toddler, but with our new baby not here yet, I am entering Aston's pic, for our soon to be baby Maksim. :)

Man’s Best Friend, Boy’s too. Watching the snow.

Our fuzzy kitty has decided that our youngest is "HER" baby since he was in the womb and always lays by his back while he naps (we don't allow her in his room at night or she would do it then too.) If he wakes up early, she even comes meowing to let me know!

Lucy takes her job as “naptime guard” very seriously

“Welcome home, baby Laughlin! I’ll always be here to watch over you ”

Snuggletime and sweet slumber with big brother Bling?

This is baby Ray and our 12-year-old doggie, Grover. Ray was asleep first, then Grover came up and flopped on him. Ray woke up, smiled, put his hand in Grover's fur, and went back to sleep.

yes, he really spooned her all on his own for nap time.

i think this video says it all about the love my daughter has for her doggies (watch the video here)
